Peel the potatoes and chop them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely shred the cabbage and dice the onion.
Heat half of the butter (25 grams) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and shredded cabbage. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.
When the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes with the remaining butter (25 grams) and milk until smooth and creamy.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Gently fold the sautéed cabbage and onion into the mashed potatoes. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spoon the potato mixture into a greased ovenproof dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top, ensuring it covers the potato mixture completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
Serve hot as a side dish or standalone meal. Enjoy your comforting and delicious Rumbledthumps!
